For a long time, I’ve anxiously denied that what I feel for beauty is love. I’ve been calling it an obsession or a passionate interest. A fascination. How clinical it sounds written black on white! Of course, what I’ve truly felt is ambiguous, because there’s really no way ...
When I started these Tendency posts, I used the dreaded affiliate links to illustrate my point: Look! The thing I’m talking about is for sale!! But since affiliate links give me anxiety and I’d like to keep this blog as ad-free as possible, no more. I’m gonna be talking about ...
Happy Highlight day! The sun has started creeping out of hiding, and I find myself THIS CLOSE to yelling at random trees and shrubs to hurry the hell up with buds and leaves and flowers so I can at least have some assurance that spring is on its way. Well, it’s a little way to go, but ...
This is not a fashion blog. This will not be a fashion blog. But one stays informed of the goings-on at fashion week, because beauty and fashion are sisters, and not caring about fashion is impossible.

Tragically, I return to blogging with a depressing topic. Today, one of my favourite skincare bloggers shared a link to an article on the launch of a new beauty startup called Petite ‘N Pretty. New brands launch all the time, but what makes this line different is the target audience: little ...
November has hit me like a cartoon anvil. When did it get so cold? And dark? And why have I been crying on a daily basis? Is this seasonal affective disorder, or am I relapsing? Why have I already forgotten what ripe stone fruits taste like? So many questions, none of them answered in this blog ...
Back to influencer business. I had the suggestion to use “Content Creator” instead of “Influencer” and I do see that term a lot, but I don’t really like that either! It’s so vague, I mean, what is “content”? It doesn’t really describe anything in ...
Hello, October!! I’ve had TWO colds already! It’s raining! It’s dark! So I’m here to lighten up the mood with the beauty news and highlights (get it? ok, I know, I should be shot) interesting articles, images and videos you need. This month’s post is a little more ...
